Zeb Noland is the #2 QB

[kcyclone]

He is going into the Spring Game as the #2 behind Lanning. Guess it was on Cyclone Insiders last night. Hadn't seen it posted here.

That's a pretty good sign for the freshman!

 

[ISUCubswin]

"He's really not that great of a quarterback," Campbell told media last night. "I just think he has a cool name."*

*Not true

 

[Hoiball92]

Isn't he one of 3 qb's on scholarship? He should redshirt and Park will probably be the back up

 

[CYCLNST8]

I have to reiterate this every year: don't read too much into it. At this point, they are mostly just rewarding the hardest workers and punishing the talented slackers all the way up until opening day. You don't truly know who the first stringers are until AFTER the first game.

I would be shocked if he doesn't red shirt

Probably true, but I'll still take it as a good sign that he's a worker.

He may redshirt but unless Park beats him out he is going to be #2

It would be ideal is Lanning was #1, Park as #2, and Noland as the number three. Try and redshirt Noland so when Lanning graduates, in two years, We can insert Noland as the starter his sophomore year and keep him for hopefully 3 years.

However, if he can contribute as the number 2 quarterback, then play him. I'd just hate it if he only played a couple snaps in the season and wastes a year of eligibility.

Looks short of 215# here as ISU program shows. Certainly has the DNA. http://www2.oconeeschools.net/~tgooch/Football/KV8J0066 copy.jpg

No, "ideal" would be if Park is actually good enough to beat out Lanning.

I'm about 6'2 185 and he looks a bit bigger than me.

And committed enough to to graduate early and enroll this semester to be able to work out and play spring ball.

He'll really still HS senior. "He should be at prom". He should get beat out by our Juco guy when he gets here but that's ok. Would hate to burn his redshirt unless needed. Good news is he can obviously play!

 

[CloneIce]

Ahead of Delira already. Good, the new staff is already improving QB recruiting.

Mccarney mentioned how impressed he was with Noland after watching practice. We may have found a good one here.

 

[kcyclone]

Has there been any mention of when we will see a depth chart?

 

[ribsnwhiskey]

You don't redshirt guys who are ready to contribute immediately.

 

[ISUCubswin]

You don't redshirt guys who are ready to contribute immediately.

If he was ready to contribute immediately, he would be starting.

Redshirt him to start the year, yank it off if Lanning underperforms.

All of this assuming Park underperforms.

And if Park and Lanning underperform, we're in for a long year.

Here's to hoping Zeb is the #1 guy by September. Can only be a good thing.

He's gonna be so good that the names Zebediah and Zebulon both jump up the baby name charts nationwide.
